Coming out of high school, Maddox was named the 2023 California Gatorade Player of the Year and was the No. 6 national recruit by Extra Inning Softball. She was a NFCA High School All-American honoree in 2022 (third team) and 2023 (second team). In addition, Maddox was a three-time Tri-River Athletic Conference Player of the Year and two-time Fresno Bee Softball Player of the Year.

"Her toughness adds to a seasoned staff led by Sophia Ramuno, Morgan Reimer (recently named to Team Canada's roster) and Rylee Rehbein," Tarr added. "We're leveling up, and Ryan's experience pushes us even higher."
Β
Maddox played for Husky Hall of Famer Sara Pickering for seven seasons of travel ball with Central Cal DirtDogs. In 2023, Maddox led OC Batbusters Stith win the Alliance National Championship and the Triple Crown Sports Championship in 2022.
